Unless something has changed it is every 7 years for a "change" so this is in the middle of F25.

Little changes each year. Big change, to me, was the 2013. The 28i went from an inline 6 to turbo 4.

Option packages seem to be tweaked all the time. By advice is to learn them well. You may find based on your choice of options that the 35i is not much more than the 28i as some of the options are standard in the 35i. The roof was one item like that.

Because I want it in white I noticed the black plastic around the body shows even more, so the M package fixes this and I like the M wheels better. I haven't got a chance to drive the 35i yet to compare in terms of power.

A word of warning, once you test drive the 35i, it is very hard to go back to a 28i

+ a million to this one. If you want a Prius get a Prius, if you want an X3 get a 35i.

If I could only afford a 28i MSport or a 35i with black body parts the 35i wins in my opinion. I didn't opt for the M as my wife liked the shape of the lower non m panels better and the black has not bothered me and am super happy we went with the bigger engine.

I have one more question to ask, this is regarding the offer I received. I just drove the 35i but I'm still a little on the fence if I should pay extra for it. The power is nice but I can live without it. I own a Pontiac GTO with a little over 400whp, so if I have the urge for speed that'l be my fix.

You're working the numbers the wrong way. Don't look at the discount off of List. Look at Invoice, and see what you're paying over Invoice. If you're paying more than $1000 over invoice than you're paying too much. Some think that paying more than $500 over invoice is too much, but I'm willing to leave a little more on the table. You're actually not too bad here.

Is this a good discount for a lease?

Ah. I didn't see the invoice, and they're not broken out separately on any of the documents that I have.

Well, that's why I think is better to look at the "real" invoice without any added fees on some of the more dependable web sites, and then just see the total added to that. It doesn't really matter if it is called MACO or document or whatever. In my case all added was a couple hundred bucks to the invoice and (back in 2013) I got $1750 in incentives, so the final price was significantly less then the invoice.
